Bloody Mama Page #4

for a lot offolks.

The rich men was jumping

out of the windows,

and, as usual, they fell on the poor.

Well, at least my Herman

and Freddie had a roof over their heads

and three square meals a day.

Let me know if it hurts, now.

KEVIN:
Hey, that hurt.

But it hurts good.

(MOANING)

Ma taught us how to walk a back.

Ain't no Barker boy

can't take out any pain you got.

Did your mom walk your back a lot?

Yeah. Ozark massage, she calls it.

Like when you're nervous before a big job,

Ma'll walk your back and sing.

She sings,

What an Army ofBoys We'd Have

if We'd Ever Draft the Girls.

Everybody would feel

so goddamn easy inside,

you could kill 20 cops and not even blink.

What did you say?

You have three brothers, Fred?

Yeah.

Are they all just as good as you are?

Well, Herman, he's the oldest,

Herman's a little rough.

When Herman walks your back,

it's kind of a beating.

I mean, Herman

would just kill a guy, just like that.

Or beat him up.

Yeah, or beat him up.

Like...

'Cause he enjoys it.

What's the matter?

You don't...

- You don't like to beat a guy up, do you?

- No.

Not unless I have to.

Tell me something.

What?

You like to get beat up?

Oh, Jesus!

I got an idea.

What you gonna do?

(WHIMPERING)

What you gonna do?

I'm not gonna hurt you.

(WHIMPERING)

(PANTING)

I really like you.

(SINGING) It's a-me, it's a-me

it's a-me, O Lord.

Standing in the need ofprayer.

Not my brother, not my mother.

It's a-me, O Lord.

Standing in the need ofprayer.

It's a-me, it's a-me

it's a-me, O Lord.

Standing in the need ofprayer.

HERMAN:
And God bless Freddie.

And God bless Lloyd.

And God bless Arthur.

And God bless Ma.

God damn it!

And God bless Pa.

Wherever my blessed Papa is,

God damn it!

You bless him.

Hey, that guy's a creep!

Oh, shut up.

What the hell's the matter with you?

That guy's a creep!

(HERMAN SCREAMING)

(lNMATE GROANS)

(SCREAMING)

They did this to my Herman.

They did this to my little Freddie.

Oh, hell, Ma, they just got caught.

Don't curse in my house.

John Wilkes Booth just got caught.

Jesus H. Christ just got caught.

You with all your book learning.

I'm not Mary, mother of God,

so I'm gonna see that they get sprung.

How you gonna do that, Ma?

I'm gonna raise me a heap of money

and I'm gonna hire the smartest

and the slickest lawyer.

You know the trouble

with Jesus H. Christ, Lloyd?

The trouble with our Lord was that

he didn't have no smart, slick lawyer.

Ma,

you are dark.

And what's that supposed to mean?

Oh, well, I just mean you're very deep.

Deep like a well.

You know, Mama, sometimes I look at you

and I see a ring

of bright glory all around you,
